  • 3D layers that allow you to bring 3D shapes and models into your 2D canvas.
  • A command line interface for automated file exporting.
  • Custom user data for projects, layers, frames, frame tags and cels, allowing you to attach metadata for game development.

What's new in version 1.1.9

  • Pixelorama v1.1.9 adds several practical features: layer splitting during spritesheet export, tileset export as images or Godot TileSet resources, cel duplication, a Preferences search bar, EXR file support on desktop, more image-size presets, canvas-rotation shortcuts, and Thai language support.
  • The export flow was improved: you now choose the full output path directly in the export dialog, folder favorites and recent folders are remembered, and on the web version you get a warning before closing a tab with unsaved changes.
  • Mobile and platform usability also improved: mobile gets quick-access buttons for common actions and modifier keys, Android no longer requires storage permissions, and there is a new option to collapse the main menu into a single button.
  • This release also fixes a number of user-visible problems, including slowdown in some tilemap paste/delete actions, unnecessary GPU redraws while idle, GIF export freezes, fullscreen UI cutoff on phones, undo/redo visual issues, duplicate project opening on startup, and several tilemap, mirroring, and export dialog bugs.
